Your mission

The backcountry

A storm blew through the lift line last night, and a party of skiers lost their gear all along the ridge: goggles, an ice axe, a helmet, a beacon, crampons, a rope, skis and a camera.

Hold the left or right side of the screen to run. Tap the middle, or swipe up, to jump. Hold one side and tap with another finger to run and jump at once.

Jump the narrow crevasses. The wide ones are too far to jump: catch the rope hanging from the lift as it swings toward you, ride it across, and jump to let go over the far side.

Snow bridges crack and fall in, then freeze over again. Cross while they hold. Hop the snowballs rolling down the ridge, or they knock you flat and cost you points.

The ridge goes on for thirty-two screens, and it loops, so you can run either way. Every new screen is worth points, and every piece of gear more. Find all eight before the clock runs out for a bonus for every second left.

Eight pieces of gear. One clock.

  • Hold side run

The weather won this time.
